Jab laasha-e-farzand-e-nabi ho gaya paamaal
Us waqt ajab haal mein thi Fatima ki aal
Tareeq ne kuchh is tarha likha hai wo ebaal
Sab bibiyon mein ek tha bibi ka bura haal
Bechaini se aati thhi dar-e-khaime se har baar
Bachchon ko samete hue kehti thhi dilabgaar -
Ay jari diler-e-baawafaa
Baazu-e-shaheed-e-Karbala
Jaan-e-Fatima-o-Murtuza
Tashnalab Sakina ke chacha
Kisko de sadaa Zainab, kisko de sadaa Zainab
Fauj ab qareeb aayi, ay Hussain ke bhai
Aap ko nahin hai ye khabar
Lut gaya hai Fatima ka ghar
So rahey ho jaake nehr par
Naize pe rakha hai Shah ka sar
Kisko de sadaa Zainab, kisko de sadaa Zainab
Fauj ab qareeb aayi, ay Hussain ke bhai
Akbar-e-jawaan nahin raha
Bezubaan bhi qatl ho gaya
Qasim-e-hazeen bhi chal basa
Khaatma hua sipah ka
Kisko de sadaa Zainab, kisko de sadaa Zainab
Fauj ab qareeb aayi, ay Hussain ke bhai
Kis tarha bataoon rann ka haal
Laash ko karengey paayemaal
Bhai ka karo to kuchh khayaal
Shah-e-lafatah ke laal
Kisko de sadaa Zainab, kisko de sadaa Zainab
Fauj ab qareeb aayi, ay Hussain ke bhai
Karti hai Rabab ye fughaan
Ho-ney ko hai raat ab ayaan
Rann mein hai hamaara bezubaan
Le ke aayein usko bhaijaan
Kisko de sadaa Zainab, kisko de sadaa Zainab
Fauj ab qareeb aayi, ay Hussain ke bhai
Fauj-e-Shaam baani-e-jafaa
Jaan ke akela benavaa
Kar de zulm ki na intehaa
Chhen le na aake ye ridaa
Kisko de sadaa Zainab, kisko de sadaa Zainab
Fauj ab qareeb aayi, ay Hussain ke bhai
Kin jafaaon ka ho taskira
Shaam-e-gham mein aal-e-Mustafa
Ho gayi ghamon mein mubtila
Lab pe hai Anees ye buka
Kisko de sadaa Zainab, kisko de sadaa Zainab
Fauj ab qareeb aayi, ay Hussain ke bhai
Us waqt ajab haal mein thi Fatima ki aal
Tareeq ne kuchh is tarha likha hai wo ebaal
